ABSTRACT:
A continuous tobacco filler is formed by feeding tobacco shreds at a variable rate into a first portion of an elongated path wherein the shreds are transported by a conveyor to form a growing stream which is fully grown as soon as its particles leave the first portion of the path. The fully grown tobacco stream contains a surplus of tobacco, and such surplus is removed in a second portion of the path to convert the fully grown stream into a filler. The quantity of tobacco in the growing or fully grown stream and in the filler is measured by two detectors which furnish corresponding signals to a dividing circuit. The latter transmits a further signal which is a quotient of the received signals and is used to regulate the rate of feed of tobacco shreds into the first portion of the path.
